The West's sanctions are not aimed at helping Ukraine, but at geo-politically pushing Russia back. They are foolish and are merely harming both sides.

More quotes by Vladimir Putin
We are natural partners [with Japan] in the world and the Far East, but the absence of a peace treaty does not allow us to develop the full range of our relations. Therefore, we will naturally strive to sign this treaty.
Vladimir Putin
We are expanding and improving the infrastructure of our relations. You must have heard about China's plans to participate in building a high-speed railway line between Moscow and Kazan in the Volga region, in central Russia. And then we plan to extend it to Kazakhstan and on to China.
Vladimir Putin
If Russia's interests and security are threatened, Russia will resist. Everyone needs to know that.
Vladimir Putin
I have heard this a thousand times. Of course every state has the right to organize its security the way it deems appropriate. But the states that were already in NATO, the member states, could also have followed their own interests - and abstained from an expansion to the east.
Vladimir Putin
People in the eastern regions [of Ukaraine] are talking about federalisation, and Kiev has at long last started talking about de-centralisation. Order in the country can only be restored through dialogue and democratic procedures, rather than with the use of armed force, tanks and aircraft.
Vladimir Putin
Britain is leaving and has de facto left the European Union however, it has not withdrawn from its special relationship with the United States and I believe that the UK's relations with Russia depend on Britain's special relationship with the United States rather than on its presence in or absence from the European Union.
Vladimir Putin
I believe a healthy lifestyle is an extremely important thing which underpins solution to numerous important problems, including the health of the nation.
Vladimir Putin
Every head of state and government in the world is allowed to have his opinion and to voice it.
Vladimir Putin
When people communicate freely, when labour force, goods, services and funds move freely as well, when there are no state dividing lines and when we have common legal regulation, for example, in the social sphere - all that is good enough, people should feel free.
Vladimir Putin
One can feel calm and at ease. Just leave kids alone, please.
Vladimir Putin
Fifteen percent of Russia badly polluted.
Vladimir Putin
No one doubts that poison gas was used in Syria. But there is every reason to believe it was used, not by the Syrian Army, but by opposition forces to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons, who would be siding with the fundamentalists.
Vladimir Putin
I was brought up in a very ordinary family, in fact, a worker's family. Both my father and mother were ordinary citizens.
Vladimir Putin
As for the President-elect [Donald Trump], he has his own views on things, and this is also fairly natural.
Vladimir Putin
I believe that the 21st century economy is an economy of people, not of factories. The intellectual factor has become increasingly important in the economy, which is why we are planning to focus on providing additional opportunities for people to realise their potential.
Vladimir Putin
Back in 2007, many people criticized me for my talk at the Munich Security Conference. But what did I say there? I merely pointed out that the former NATO Secretary General Manfred Wörner had guaranteed that NATO would not expand eastwards after the fall of the Wall.
Vladimir Putin
We will keep a close eye on what is happening and wait for the election results and after that we will be ready to work with any Administration given that it wants to work with us.
Vladimir Putin
The Russian people chose democracy at the beginning of the 1990s and this was their final choice.
Vladimir Putin
Brazil is one of the biggest Latin American countries, the biggest, no doubt, and, more importantly, it is a country with immense development potential.
Vladimir Putin
I consider the decision of my colleagues and friends to be the best birthday present.
Vladimir Putin
